Event Details

The late Walter Tevis, a former Athenian and admired English professor at Ohio U, wrote several critically-acclaimed novels that inspired Hollywood filmmaking (The Hustler, The Man Who Fell to Earth, etc). The latest triumph is his 1983 novel The Queen's Gambit, which is the basis for a hit Netflix mini-series of the same name. This is a feminist novel of interesting social dynamics and psychological depth, dealing with an unlikely young woman (a troubled orphan), who evolves into a national chess champion.  

Our guest discussion leader is Dr. Nicole Reynolds, Associate Professor in the Department of English at Ohio University. 

Please register online through the Library's Calendar of Events. This three-part series will be available live online through Google Meet.
